How Webmasters can become Experts and Write Expert Articles!
|
Write Articles, Be recognized
as an Expert, Drive a Surge of Traffic to your Website,
Increase your Link Popularity, Create Awareness,- yes
that is what all Internet Marketers are talking about.
Article writing certainly does bring such great results
to webmasters but do all articles yield such dividends?
Only well written, thought provoking educative articles
attain great heights. So let us explore how such articles
could be written.
Before proceeding further let us keep this gem of an advice
at the back of our minds. Put it before them Briefly
so they will Read it, Clearly so they will Appreciate
it, Picturesquely so they will Remember it, and above
all, Accurately so they will be guided by it."--Joseph
Pulitzer.
Writing articles require Thinking, Planning, Organizing
and Researching. So to get started, relax quietly, put
your thinking cap on, select a topic that you are most
familiar with, say Home Based Business or Internet Marketing
and brains storm your thoughts.
Write down everything that comes to your mind. It could
be a beautiful sentence, a striking phrase or a technical
or marketing jargon. Jot it down before you loose it and
let your thinking flow. "Writing is no trouble; you just
jot down ideas as they occur to you. The jotting is simplicity
itself-it is the occurring which is difficult."--Stephen
Leeacock.
Researching is an important aspect of article writing.
While researching be Inquisitive, be Curious, and be Focused.
Remember your topic and collect only information related
to your topic. Also keep in mind that while researching
you are building a vast reservoir of knowledge that is
going to be of immense value in running your Home Based
Business, Internet Marketing or any other Online Business.
Prepare an initial draft from the notes taken during the
brains storming session and from the researched material.
Strike off whatever notes you think are irrelevant to
the topic. Group all relevant material under different
headings.
If there are several ideas under a heading, then have
different paragraphs for different ideas. At this stage
check your grammar and terminology. See that your ideas
are clear and precise. Also ensure that there is continuity
and flow, right from introduction to conclusion.
Once your draft is written, leave it aside for a few hours
or even for a day or so. This process will help you to
bring new ideas, new thoughts and a new perspective. Add
the new ideas and correct the spelling. When redrafting
ensure that the article falls within the specified word
limit. If it is too long, rephrase the sentences or strike
off the sentences that are not very relevant.
Now the article is almost ready. Writing an article is
one thing but capturing the attention of your audience
is quite a different matter altogether. The first thing
that captivates a reader's mind is without doubt the Title.
Write a Killer Title or a Catchy Title that will immediately
grab the attention of the reader. If you succeed in this,
then half your battle in capturing the attention of the
reader is over.
Next write an introduction that is concise, powerful and
illuminating. It should automatically create an urge and
desire on the part of the reader to continue reading the
article.
Conclude the article with an effective and captivating
paragraph that will compel the reader to take the action
that you have preplanned for him e.g. reprinting your
article on Home Based Business or Internet Marketing,
Tell a Friend or read your Resource Box.
As mentioned initially, one of the main objectives of
writing an article is to get traffic to your website.
Place a Resource Box at the end of the article. This should
contain a powerful and captivating description of yourself,
your website or your product in third person and in no
more than four or five lines. Add your name and the URL
of your website. This will be the nerve center of your
article as far as your objective is concerned.
That is it, follow these simple steps and you will be
on the way to write and submit articles of quality that
will create a stampede to your website. Above all, you
are now just a step away from being an Expert in your
field. Remember The Expert at anything was once
a beginner".--Hayes
